You know, it's sometimes unsurprising EA churns out endless yearly sequals to games when a game like this, with a 1 year development cycle, gets the same score as Spore, with it's 8 year development cycle.

I did think that actually when I was reviewing it and was tempted to mark it down to keep Spore above as it obviously should be. In the end though, this was a fair score and offers entirely different things to Spore. In my mind though Spore is a better game, but too flawed to achieve higher - though it does get the recommended award.
